SDG 11 · Sustainable Cities and Communities
Eco Heroes turns that fact into a story an 8-year-old can hold onto: The Dog that Said Woof, book 11 of 17 in the SDG Library.
The target, in plain language
By 2030, ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services and upgrade slums.
Target 11.2 asks for safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport for all. By 2025, 61.5 per cent of city dwellers had convenient access to public transport, up from 53.2 per cent in 2020.

Bring it into the room
“What makes a street feel safe and friendly to you? And what makes it feel unsafe?”
Draw a map of the street around your school and add three changes that would make it better for children, older people and animals. Compare maps: which ideas show up more than once?
Every SDG gets its own illustrated book, its own facts and its own activities. SDG 1 is always free. The rest unlock with a family, school or hotel plan.
